Boating So Far



It's been a while, mostly because of the technical issues with our blog. We have yet to find a platform that can handle iPhone (Jan) and Android (Lyle) photo streams together.

Huricane season has arrived and we're preparing the boat for haul out and storage. We've done many repairs and upgrades while in port and spent much less time "cruising" than we hoped. Here is a collection of photos. More to come.
